Sounds like they’re using a treadmill, and yes this is about the most boring way possible to exercise

The risk is that beyond hobbyists technology will stagnate. It’s already much more productive using one or two frameworks over the rest of what’s available, and without training data it won’t be able to advance beyond those current popular frameworks.

If you’re using the same adapter successfully at a supercharger, you have the wrong adapter for AC (level 1/2) charging.

I use it to enable voice control (turn on the coffee machine), quick actions on iOS devices and for the simpler and faster Home ui for basic controls.

It’s also handy in that you get remote access with no extra port forwarding.

Possibly obvious point, water softeners add salt to the water.

Not all water softeners add salt to the water. nuvoh2o sells a water softener that does not use salt.

While this may be true (have no knowledge | how does it work w/o salts?), the OEM will immediately void your warranty if you use any sort of homeowner water softener, per both Rheem and AOS installation manuals.

I have both; mine are warranted "platinum|10yrs" — why chance it?

and then you heat the salt, which is even better!

Correct. This is the reason.

Vinyl, for whatever continuing reason, often does sound better than digital formats but only because it’s mastered with more care.

It could be that it’s physically impossible to master vinyl for extreme loudness, but whatever the reason is you can absolutely pick up a vinyl copy of an album and find it sounds much better than the streamed or CD version.

as a former apprentice sound engineer, I just don't believe that.

If you play your media on a decent NS-10 like speaker with a fairly good amp, you'll have pretty much what the mastering engineered mastered on.

Even tape has a better dynamic range than vinyl. Its like lomo photography, it does one thing very well, but is terrible for anything else. Yes it might sound pleasing, but it sucks for classical, anything with dynamic range, or anything that needs "room presence" as in recorded in a good sounding venue. close harmonies? yeah nah. drums with lots of cymbals? good luck.

Look there is nothing wrong with vinyl, its like shooting on expired film, it evokes a certain feeling. But its not better quality.

I agree that vinyl is technically worse than others modern formats, but it often gets mastered with greater care and therefore can sound better than CD or other digital formats.

Read this thorough rundown of one of the more famously over compressed albums where the vinyl release has better sound than even the 24 bit release: https://buttondown.com/rhcpsessions/archive/me-and-my-friend...

Not the op, but you only commit to what you already did in this sprint.

So this sprint shows what you delivered 2 sprints ago, next sprint will be the work you just finished.

I’ve done this for years and never ruptured a bottle, I set the regulator to 60psi.

I’d like a metal bottle too but haven’t found one - I presume spraying some co2 into it would be enough to get the plain air out since you obviously can’t squeeze the air out.

Try a corporate laptop. Every stupid thing you don’t need except to know it’s running is there, but you don’t know it’s running because they may just be hidden.

Jamf, zscaler, virus checkers, etc. need to all go to hell with this crap. I’m glad Tailscale are removing theirs.

I interpreted this as not as good a way to learn.

I learn the most from struggling through a problem, and reading someone’s code doesn’t teach me all the wrong ways they attempted before it looked like the way it now does.

Exactly. And vice versa, one of the biggest benefits of code review is calling out pitfalls you, the reviewer have ran into that the reviewee isn't aware of. LLM addicts won't have any experience with what works/doesn't work, so their reviewing will be pretty useless

I was thinking in situations where a coworker might send me something to review, and I might have thought "hmm, I wouldn't have done it like that, but this is a great way to do it too". Also, a good source of teachable code is to participate in a programming contest, and then review the repositories of the teams who scored better than me after the contest.

I agree that if I don't already know how to implement something, seeing a solution before trying it myself is not great, that's like skipping the homework exercises and copying straight from the answer books.

Yeah I learn from reading other work too, but it doesn’t stick as well as when I work through it.

The problem now is the pressure to use llms means creating more code but understanding so much less.

This is why tutorials in programming don't really teach much because you get the finished version. Not all the wrong steps that were taken, why they failed, what else was tried.

These steps are what help you solve other issues in the future.
